Vehicular assault is when someone who is intoxicated (drunk or under the influence of drugs) causes serious bodily injury to another person while driving a motor vehicle or operating a registered boat. This is a Class D felony punishable by 2-12 years in prison and/or a fine up to $5,000. First offenders must serve at least 48 consecutive hours in jail; those with one prior alcohol-related conviction must serve at least 45 consecutive days; and those with two or more prior alcohol-related convictions must serve much longer mandatory minimum sentences.

Penalty: Class D felony; 2-12 years; fine up to $5,000
